Man's journey through the Third Millennium has not been an easy one. Wars, diseases and dictators have blunted man's progress and tried to quell his spirit. Yet, in the thirty-second century, man stands triumphant. He has formed an alliance with his interstellar neighbors for their common defense and economic well being. With man stands:

The insect-like businessman and manager, the Mantu;

The kangaroo shaped and telepathic D'Thal;

The methane breathing and master builder, the Wom;

The crystalline bodied and information devouring Crys; and

The hard shell, brave, and passionate Flots.

All standing united against the hulking menace of the Yadeze. It is a union of bodies, swords, and pocketbooks, a combination of incredible skills and awe inspiring talents. In short, it is a Cooperation of many different beings standing as one against the vastness of space.
